Model Configuration Parameters for Radar Toolbox Support Package for Texas Instruments mmWave Radar Sensors

R2026b

Hardware Implementation Pane Overview

  1. In the Modeling tab of the Simulink® Editor, click Model Settings.

  2. In the Configuration Parameter dialog box, click Hardware Implementation.

  3. Set the Hardware board parameter to a value, such as TI Radar AWR1642BOOST (ARM Cortex - R4F).

  4. The parameter values under Hardware board settings are automatically populated to their default values.

    You can optionally adjust these parameters for your particular use case.

  5. Click Apply to apply the changes.

For more information on selecting a hardware support package and general configuration settings, see Hardware Implementation Pane (Simulink).
